Abstract
Magnetotunnelling spectroscopy is used to probe experimentally electro nic wave functions scarred by classic trajectories in a classically ch aotic system. The system comprises an electron moving in a 22 nm GaAs quantum well of a double barrier resonant tunnelling diode in the pres ence of large tilted magnetic fields. Resonant peaks in the current-vo ltage characteristics are shown to originate from dominant tunnelling transitions into the subset of scarred states in the quantum well.
